Air - Air (1971)
EZHEVIKA FIELDS (Free subscription) | 10/04/2009
Not to be confused with the French techno band or the R&B band from the late '80s. Air was one of the groups featured on Herbie Mann's Embryo label, a jazz/rock imprint of Atlantic from the early 1970s. It featured Googie Coppola on vocals. Air's sound was extremely jazz based with a slight pop influence. The main selling point was Googie Coppolla's vocals. Whether telling off an ex-lover in "Mr....

Dungen, Woods offer surprises
Things I'd Rather Be Doing (Free subscription) | 08/11/2009
Hearing Dungen perform last night at the Picador in Iowa City , I came away with one goal: To hear everything the band has recorded. No, I wasn't indoctrinated into the church of Dungen, a blind acolyte to the Swedish psych-rock band's sound. But I enjoyed enough of it that I want to hear for myself the depth and breadth of the band's work so I can pick out the parts I did thoroughly enjoy and explore...

Go away. What is it that holds you here? Certainly not my riveting good looks! I mean, surely I'm attractive, but not so much that you'd be deaf to my pleas for solitude. You must have some purpose behind your lollygagging about, here. Ah, of course, you came here for a reading. And, after I give you one, you will leave, correct? That makes this almost bearable. So, here you are, so you can go: You...
